they are hereby, authorized and empowered, at their reg-
ular meeting prior to the first of July in each year, lay a
levy on all the taxable real and personal estate in said

kept: provided that the tax shall in no case exceed thirty
cents on the hundred dollars in any one year, which levy,
when collected, shall be placed by the treasurer to the
credit of the road commissioner. The board of supervis-
ors of said county, after laying the levy for the road tax
as above provided, shall proceed to make an estimate of
the amount the levy will yield, taking the land and prop-
erty books of the preceding year as a basis, and after in-
forming themselves by the road commissioner’s report
as to the number of miles of road in each district and
the number of hands liable under the law to work on
roads, and the probable amount of money it will require
after working the hands as the law directs to keep the
roads in repair, and upon such information they may ap-
portion the road funds as to them may appear just to each
district.
